Hi Miranda, I love the site.
I too follow a candida diet. The diet I follow insists that all sugars are elimited ie. Fruit; dried fruit or sugar substitues. I do find that if I slip and do have some fruit my craving for sugar becomes high and I feel I have less control on my blood sugar.
Can I ask if you were recommended to continue with fruit?
Thanks,
Marcia
Hello Marcia and thanks for the kind words, really glad you are loving Fussy Foodie.
When I first did my anti candidia diet I had no fruit sugars for a year. Now I have a max (try to) of two peices of fruit a day. However I dont have dried fruit (unless small slip in a raw bar or something), grapes or melons as they are high fruit sugar content.
The fruit I was recommended to try first was an apple (Granny Smith) and also watermelon.
How are you finding the anti candidia diet?
Miranda
Thanks Miranda.
I find it hard, although once I’m on a roll it does get easier. I do find a little slip especially on the bread or fruit front sets my sugar cravings off again and I fall off the ‘wagon’.
I’ve never been properly testing, just by an iridologist, but I know I am do much better on the diet. I have so much more energy, with no daily dips, and I lose my bloated tummy and excess weight. I am a very active person and teach yoga but always seem to carry an extra 5 lbs that I can never shift. However when being careful with my yeasts and sugars it just falls off.
I’m off to try the spelt bread now!
Thanks again,
Marcia
